• MD simulations reveal how synthetic antimicrobial peptides interact with membrane models 

      Sarre, Birta Ravdna (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-12-17)
      Since the discovery of antibiotics the extensive use in health care and agriculture has led to the development of resistant bacterial strains. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) exists in nature where they are believed to play an important role in the innate immune system in vertebrates. Due to their antibacterial properties and apparent ability to elicit very low bacterial resistance, researchers have ...
